What is Orientalism? T U R K A I R O 0 10 months ago

About We are all sorry, Mr. Said

A group for high-functioning orientalists
in dialogue with Edward Said's 1978 Orientalism.

"My contention is that Orientalism is fundamentally a political doctrine willed over the Orient because the Orient was weaker than the West, which elided the Orient’s difference with its weakness. . . . As a cultural apparatus Orientalism is all aggression, activity, judgment, will-to-truth, and knowledge" (p. 204).


Confront, re-present, re-imagine Orientalism!
